Best of 2025: A Year That Built Towards Something Big

2025 has been a year of ongoing work rather than major releases, and I want to make peace with that as a description before I go into the detail.

The Horizontal Rain remix on Mighty Force in May was a strong start to the year and a track that has continued to find plays and listeners through the months since. The Ricky’s Trippy Vision track on The Longest Day compilation in June was a lighter piece of work that I found genuinely enjoyable to make and that has done what a good compilation track should do: found people who wouldn’t necessarily have sought out my music directly.

Fragile World has been the constant presence through the whole year, demanding time and attention and patience in equal measure. It is not finished. I said in January that the album would be finished when it was finished and not before and that remains true. The work has been consistent and the direction has remained clear throughout, which in a year without a major release is the most important thing I can say about the studio side of things.

Going into 2026 the task is clear: finish the album. Everything else will follow from that.

Thank you for following along this year. The audience for this music is small and serious and I am grateful for every person in it.
